    IDK, my e-bikes cost under $1000, get me around town fast without using gas, lets me legally bypass streets/traffic, then roll into my office, and fold up under my desk to charge until I need it. You can’t do that shit with a motorcycle, plus you have to worry about parking, extra maintenance, insurance, registration and all the other hassles of a registered vehicle.

    Motorcycles are great (especially when it comes to traveling far, fast), don’t get me wrong, but e-bikes and motorcycles fill different roles and have different capabilities. The total cost of ownership on a reasonably good entry level e-bike is still lower than a motorcycle.
